This was one of your better videos!! Very informative and great camera angle to be able to see the high spots.

Thank you for this video! Now I feel more confident that I can fix my mistakes.

I like this video, as it applies to any brand of coating, and any brand of polish, rather than specifically naming particular products as a promo for Adam’s products. I really appreciate that. 🚗🙂👍

You guys are the first big detailing company I ever stumbled on - love your products. Thanks for giving me the confidence to fix my most recent coating high spots.

Great video Joe, thanks for putting it up there. It answered a lot of questions!

you blew my mind with the uv light! great video!

In my training, we were taught to before the ceramic coating, to wipe the surface with a panel wipe. We used Gyeon, then a ceramic prep spray, then the ceramic coating was applied.

This is such a helpful video. You guys make great content!

Great Video, I just did my first application of Ceramic and definitely have high spots. This video was spot on!

That was a great, informative video, thanks for posting!

Great video... Wish I would have known this before my first Adams ceramic coating🥴 But no worries...I figured them out...had good success with Sonax perf. Finish & microfiber applicator pad...some light hand polishing took care of the high spots and the UV light helps tremendously to check coverage & for high spots...👏👏👍👍

thankls fella, great insight i feel much more confident armed with this knowledge, cheers and keep up the utube vids fella, i am a fan..

very helpful video... I’ve had issues with this myself and it’s good to know some techniques to correct it

This was very Informative. Thank you

Great informational video! Thank you!

Excellent video, very informative.

I think this video is very helpful in at least providing confidence to give it a shot, knowing there are options … but also driving the point others have said, “work on a small area or panel at a time”.

This video helps eliminate the fear as beginner myself. Thanks for this video

Awesome video, a topic that is rarely covered by how to videos. Definitely eases my worries about the process

awesome video the best i have ever seen very well explained.

Am just finishing up my own DIY applying Adam's Graphene Ceramic Coating (original formula, not advanced), and there were a couple unexpected things I ran into, partly because I did mine outside and not under artificial light. First, I was surprised that my prep resulted in a kind of dull, almost satin finish before applying the coating. Was happy to see that applying the coating restored the "shiny, wet" look. Working outside, I found that I couldn't see the coating flash due to lighting conditions. I then resorted to simply estimating by time, knowing from various videos to expect flashing to occur up to 2 minutes, so manually timed myself (estimation) and produced a fairly good result. But, as one might expect, there were some intermittent problems. I'd check back again in about 3-5 hours and see the cross hatches of my application in a combination of different angle and different light (again, this was outside). I was able to simply add another layer of coating and the problem was resolved. One patch in particular wasn't discovered until about 12 hours later and still was fixed by simply adding a new coat. All things considered, am happy with results to this point. Shortly after full curing, I'm then hopeful that I'll really get 7 years of outside protection from the sun!

Wow, what a perfect topic and video. I downloaded it for future reference. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I have a case of another company Si02 ceramic coatings, so would Adam's Graphene spray still work on the other coating even if it's not graphene? Thanks.

Thanks!! Love your products!!!

Merci pour la vidéo Adam

Thanks! I used this method and helped me correct a dumb DIY mistake.

Watched this video and this trick worked even after I had high spots from 2 months ago.

IPA after polish to remove the oils before applying coating to ensure proper adhesion!

Super helpful! Thank you!

You saved my bacon fella Applied my first attempt at ceramic coating yesterday to fully prepared Jaguar XJ Could believe how difficult it was given minimal instructions etc Loads of dark high spots in the panels Left one side alone luckily Came in searching for solutions came across your straightforward video exactly what I needed Got up early next day and polished out all panels and got rid of the blemishes Will now have to pluck up courage to try again! Thanks 😅

Awesome video! I’ve been thinking of using your Graphene on my Tesla but it’s been a little intimidating. So glad to see it’s easy to fix high spots or areas I missed

Awesome! Thank you for this video!

There is too much taboo behind ceramic coating. Thank you for clarifying the easy of fixing any screwups!

That rehydrating trick is cool. Reminds me of taking old dry erase off of a whiteboard

This is why I use adam’s products. Not only do they have great products they have great tutorials as wel

I used the graphene kit as instructed and had awesome results. I did get a little over ambitious covering too much area all at the same time and some of the ceramic coating did begin to set up before I could polish it off. I used a plush towel with the boost spray and it evened out beautifully. On my black and chrome road king the ceramic coating makes the bike appear brand new. Great products from Adam’s! 👍🏻

WOW! priceless informations in this video! what is the better moment to buff the ceramic coat? when the rainbowcolours starts flashing or imediatly after the rainbowcolours ?

Nice, this was exactly the video i needed. I´m about to apply my first ever ceramic coating (Avalon King) once we get better weather and was worried for a number of things that could happen, just because i had no idea what to expect. But this was very reassuring, can´t wait to finally apply it now! Thanks!

Tried to coat my new painted trim pieces for my car but I ended up having a lot of noticeable "brush strokes" if you will when I took them outside in the sun. Tried to rehydrate but could not replicate these results. The coating was only on the pieces for about 45min to an hour when I tried this. 🤷‍♂️

Thank you for this video. I was coating the roof of my Jeep Cherokee and the sky opened up.... The coating ran ALL OVER the body and now the entire thing has drip marks and streaks. So in my case I'd just need to buy polish and a few good pads...

That sweet sweet labeling on the ceram coatings for easy following of the video. Prime video production, even two years ago.

Please remind viewers to also IPA wipe down after any polishing and before reapplying new coating. Oils left behind from polish will preventive coating from properly curing and diminish its protective properties.

Dude, you're awesome!!!!

Great info!!!

I would have liked to have seen results on the 24hr test to try and rehydrate/hand polish a 2nd time to see if that took more off b4 machining. Just curious.

Great video. Thank you!

This is the video that I was actually searching 😃

This is the video that I wanted to see

Thank you sir

Very informative, feels more safe now to use ceramic coating. I always felt insecure to use it as I was afraid of those high spots and marks I can't get out of the paint anymore. Btw. Use ipa after you polish and before you reapply coating.

Extremely helpful thank you for this video! question though, when you use the polish method is it necessary to remove the polish before applying more coating?

Great video!

After you use an abrasive shouldn’t you use surface prep to ensure any solvents left behind are removed from the surface before you reapply the ceramic coating?

Excellent video. Can you advise me on a lamp model to see the high spots ?

Was helpful for me. I have some high spots I need to fix.

Excellent information ✊Would love to use Adams garage to do my car.

By the way.. when you say “Cure”, what you really mean is “Flash”. Ceramic coat’s “flash time” is typically when it ready to wipe off (typically second to minutes) vs “cure time” is when the ceramic coating hardens and is safe to be driven (typically 2/3 days and up to a week sometimes to be fully cured).

This video should have a lot more views.

Really cool people here ! i used to be their fedex guy . Its cool seeing you again joe . We still have to go golf !!

OK Now I am ready. Thanks.

This will probably be the most highly watched video of the bunch.

Really great and helpful video. The only thing you forgot to show, was to clean the surface with IPA/panel whipe between polishing and reapplying the coating.

This video is immensely useful. I still don't dare apply a ceramic coating myself, however. I am a professional mechanic, not a detailer. Each to his own I guess. :-)

Hi guys, Have great case for you :) bought new car in January and coated with your graphene ceramic, by the way results are amazing! Is really superb product! Now after winter decided to use another one graphene product from you but this time quick detailer. So after decontamination used blue clay and have swirl marks around the car 😜 What could you advise to get it off? Polish or what? Thanks in advance and greetings from Moscow, Russia! BR Alex

Thanks for the video.. Question Can you use the Graphene Spray first and follow up with the Graphene Ceramic?

Thanks for the informative "how to" video. Questions please. Is the protective ceramic layer "thickness" related to the cure time? (Advanced Ceramic Spray).... Within reason, would one wait a bit longer to remove an application rather than removing too quickly? You would NOT apply and remove immediately and conversely not leave on for hours, but, as long as your particular temperature/humidity environment would permit a bit longer cure time with an easy removal, would that give a "better result than if removed too quickly? Thanks in advance for your professional opinion.... Hank

Hello@Adam's Polishes , would you like to review the new MJJC foam cannon pro? Thanks.

How to remove ceramic coating from camera lens? I coated my tesla and didn’t properly remove/level it from edges of the camera lens and now edges are showing blurry on the screen. I used the Adams graphene ceramic coating advanced and it's been around 36 hrs at the time of posting this. Appreciate your help.

recently my igl graphene coating went bad ended up with darker spot and developed water spots after 2 months Spent 2 hours just polish the hood to remove the coating Extremely tough job to remove all coating from the car

I was surprised he didn’t wipe with IPA after using polish for the latter high spots, before reapplying more coating.

Can you get the blue hand polish to fix hot spots?

I about had a cow when I found a high spot near the door. Thanks to this video...problem solved. Thanks Adam's

Awesome video what happens it’s on matte paint?

What if you did a contact-less wash with strip wash in a foam cannon? Would that remove the oils but leave the coating intact without any abrasive or need to recoat(even just for peace of mind)?

So, the liquid Ceramic Spray can be used as a leveling agent within 2 hours? Let's say you let it flash, but you're having a hard time seeing the rainbowing before you wipe, can you spray a dusting of the Ceramic Spray before doing the final wipe to avoid high spots?

nice.. ty

Should u use ipa to remove the polishing oils before reapplying the coating or do u not have to

I thinking between polish & second application of the coating you need panel wipe to remove polish residue to ensure perfect bonding.

How long should you let the Graphene coating sit before whipping off

Why do you not have to spray the prep spray after you polished it?

You do not remove polish residu with an IPA solution before re apply the coating?

If you spot correct a high spot and reapply a coating it will be a lighter spot. Usually have to do the whole panel.

Would a highspot from a coating create a dark spot on the paint of the car?

Can I ask how much prep work do I need to ceramic coat a brand new car

What should I do to remove high spots and black long strips

If used on interior trim, what is the method of removal?

If the application is uneven, will it shows imperfections under the sun or any weather conditions?

So I’m looking to apply ceramic coating to a Satin wrap. So I’m don’t try think polish will be a acceptable fix as there is not clear coat . I’m in no rush to do my own car so hoping that if I get uneven/high spots I can add more coating to level out?

Hey...wait a minute. 😂😂😂 Great video guys.👊

So can I use UV light when removing coating to make sure it’s all gone?

thanks thanks thanks thanks thanks and a milliionn thanks!!!!!!

Awesome tip! Good to know before getting the kit. Also! Thats a cool light I notice it has a few modes. What kind of light is that? I don't see it on your website or is it the one that comes in the kit?

If no action is taken to remove high spots, would they dissipate/ disappear over time as the coating breaks down?

Oh good. Now I can go fix the high spot ive been ignoring for the last year and a half 😆

Would it be the same process if it was left on the glass (side mirror) for more than 24 hours? Thanks.

I have applied adams graphene ceramic spray to my Tesla and it looks amazing. However the windshield has once spot where there are dry water spots and I need to remove the ceramic to completely clean the windshield. Any idea how to remove this?

I applied Gtechniq Bike Ceramic coating to my brand new TREK Road bike and the result was a disaster . I followed the instructions but waited too long to wipe it off ( 3-4 minutes instead of 1-2) The result was high spots and clouding. In the sun it looks like a little kid got handprints all over the frame.. I went to a detail shop where they used a cutting compound and orbital polisher and 1000-200 grit sanding with no luck. I opted to take the bike back home and was advised by Techniq USA to try RUPES yellow fine polish and the Gtechniq microfiber towel that came with the kit. I doubt it will do much more than the cutting compound used at the detail ship with the orbital. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Damn that black paint looks 🔥🔥🔥

Should you have used I.p.a after polishing compound before reapplying coating?

Thanks for the video. I just applied Adam's Advanced Graphene coating on a 2 month old Black Honda HRV (btw you can't see no rainbow on a black car in a normal home garage lighting so that idea went out the window) which had swirl marks galore from the dealer (even on the glass). After prepping for 2 days (almost 16 hours) when I started applying it as a complete newbie to coatings, the first panel I did was the hood copying Pan the Organizer's video. Bad idea. Should have done some small hidden panel because unlike him I am in central Florida in my home's garage and do not have AC running controlling temp and humidity. Most people don't. The coating flashed so fast that I should have stuck with maybe a 2 x 2 section. My whole hood panel had dark and light spots all over and I did not see that till 8 hours later. Tonight at 18 hours, I was able to take a microfiber applicator and rub in some P4 polish I was using from Chemical guys in it and hand polish the hood in sections and using Adam's plush towel that came with the kit wipe it clean and buff it lightly and levelled the coating on that panel. There were some other streaks elsewhere and I used Adam's Prep Wipe spray, with a soft towel to rub into the coating for 15 to 20 seconds in sections and then use that plush towel to level them out. That worked even at 18 hours in Florida. I inspected the car in the dark garage with the black light and the coating is still there on the whole surface.

No IPA treatment after the polishing?
